The August issue of National Geographic magazine features an in-depth
look at lions. Photographer Michael "Nick" Nichols spent over 2 years in
the field for this assignment, living in the Serengeti to capture
one-of-a-kind photos of lion behavior. National Geographic has just
launched an amazing web experience showcasing Nichols' work.One
of the unique aspects of the project is all the technology that Nichols
and his team utilized in the field (infrared cameras, robots,
helicopters, camera traps, remote controlled cars); the result are
images like never before seen. Here's a Q&A,
along with video, with Nichols regarding "How to Take Stunning Lion
Photos". This project was the culmination of 7 years worth of work and
was certainly Nick's dream assignment. (National Geographic)
